Welcome to KÀ theater!
The MGM Grand in Las Vegas is home to the KÀ Theatre, a specially constructed venue created for Cirque du Soleil’s spectacular performance of KÀ.
The show’s profound focus on fate and self-discovery is reflected in the name “KÀ,” which refers to an ancient Egyptian idea of the spiritual essence or “life force.”
This article will explore everything you need to know about this famous venue, from the show to seats, to answering common questions.
Overview of the theater
The KÀ Theatre at MGM Grand is a unique Las Vegas venue with over 1,950 seats. Opened in 2005, it features a 360-degree rotating stage that tilts, lifts, and moves, creating a one-of-a-kind viewing experience.
Its design ensures that every seat offers a great view. The show’s main stage, the Sand Cliff Deck, rotates and tilts dramatically, while the Tatami Deck slides forward during the performance.
